While Formula 1 drivers may appear exhausted and battered after a race, you don’t have to share the same fate – not with the power of proper skincare and makeup on your side. While the weather in Singapore this month, especially during the Grand Prix, with intense heat, blinding lights, deafening noise, and bustling crowds, maintaining a radiant and impeccable appearance can be a challenge.
But, fear not, as we’ve compiled a selection of essential items that will help you defy the odds and keep your skin looking flawless and your makeup intact even amidst the most demanding conditions. From sun protection to sweat-proof formulations, ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the beauty essentials that will help you stay as fresh and glamorous as the moment the race begins.
Enriched with a potent blend of niacinamide and conditions your skin to retain more moisture while reducing the appearance of your pores. With a lightweight texture that quickly absorbs into the skin, this hydrating cream hydrates, smooths and plumps the look of your skin, imparting a radiant glow, and making it the perfect base before you apply your makeup.
While it gives you a pearlescent glow after application, we love this sunscreen from Supergoop! because its lightweight texture won’t have you feeling sticky under the heat. On top of that, it also has makeup-gripping properties, so your makeup adheres better to your skin, giving you a flawless base to work with.
Speaking of primers, using a makeup serum can do wonders for your look, especially in harsh and humid climates. Take, for instance, the Glowy Makeup Serum from Laneige. Made up of 100% natural mineral pink diamond powder, this serum creates a translucent and sparkly base for makeup while delivering moisture to sensitive and dry skin. More importantly, it uses Light-Fit Prep Technology which identifies primary components of the dead skin cells and combines them with silicon for stronger skin adhesiveness, so your makeup stays locked in throughout the day.
Long wear and comfort are rolled into one with this ultra-fine liquid foundation that allows skin to breathe. Colour-true for 24 hours and resistant to heat, humidity and sebum, it keeps complexion luminous matte from start to finish.
High-pigment and smudge-resistant, count on this to stay put all day long. Its precise brush tip also makes application a cinch no matter what look you’re gunning for.
The name says it all. What it doesn’t tell you: this wonder wand also lifts, lengthens, volumises, and curls.
Infused with 97% natural-origin ingredients, this souped-up lippie delivers a soft wash of colour with a luscious finish, 6-hour wear and incredible comfort.
